Security Everywhere, made by mSeven Software, is a sync and security architecture that integrates with third-party cloud storage services. Currently it integrates only with Dropbox, but according to the company's website, support for iCloud is in development and other cloud systems are under consideration.

mSecure's password manager comes with 17 standard templates for Web logins, credit cards, email accounts and frequent flyer numbers. You can also create custom templates with an unlimited number of fields. The app allows you to categorize records into groups and mark favorite records for fast access.

On mobile devices, you can auto-lock the screen after a set time and set the self-destruct feature to wipe data after a set number of incorrect password attempts. You can also share records via email, SMS or clipboard, and auto-backup encrypted data to an SD card.

The password generator creates stronger passwords that include symbols, upper- and lower-case, alpha-numeric combinations and more.

All of those are personal password managers, but what if you need to securely share passwords with somebody else?? Within the team?? Try Vaultier.org. It is server based encrypted storage. BTW... there is free community version available.

Using Stumble upon I found this article... right after I found Password Locker @ pwlocker[dot]com

hit the back button to share. Trying it now, seems like it's missing some mobile functionality, but they're updating it all the time. I found their twitter handle @pwlocker and follow it for updates.

Going to give it 10 days or so as the password lists and funcitonality is pretty cool, but may close it out after that if I don't see some improvements with the mobile stuff (works well on smartphones, i'd just like to see some remembering of whom I am - have to repeat logging in over and over - although it's intergrated with Facebook, so i just log in with my FB credentials).

I agree with you @juergenvogel19. Everybody has their own "fav password manager". For me, it will always be Password Depot. It is one of the best password managers out there. It provides best security features at an affordable cost Apart from that, it also provides other options to manage my personal data such as credit card, debit card, TAN lists etc.,. I think this piece of software deserves to be on the best password managers list.

You may try an alternative online password manager "Intuitive Password". It securely stores your passwords in the cloud, and be able to access/view them on all devices. It's free and you don't need to install any plugin to use it.

Keyfob is another great password manager that deserves to be on this list. They have apps for Windows desktop and Windows Phone 8. They also have a web app at keyfobapp.com in case you are away from your phone and computer. It's great for storing not only passwords, but any type of sensitive information, including security questions for websites, PIN numbers, etc. There is also a password generator to help you create strong passwords for your accounts. The desktop version does password auto-fill, which is a huge timesaver.

Password Depot deserves to be on top 10 list of password managers. I have been using it since a very long time now and it works great! I wonder why it was not included in this list. It provides so many features such as Security, Easy to Use, Easy to Understand, Clear Interface, Easy Pasword Generation, Facility to save personal Info, Super customer service, not only does it Import password list from other formats but also imports TAN lists...etc., I can go on and on about this tool because its a fantastic tool providing many features one can imagine.

I think this link can explain much better about the features I mentioned above --> http://www.password-depot.com/overview.htm
